Its every one's duty to respect the laws of the country where we live. Being expatriate in Saudi Arabia we should be more careful on the issue. You might be follower of enemies of islam in India, but you cannot do it in Saudi Arabia or Gulf countries. You mihgt have been brainwashed in india but anti national and anti muslim political parties, who are trying to make use of you to spread hate among different communities for their political benefit. At last you will be the one to suffer. No political for whom you are working will not come to support you and they will say you are not related to their party and there is no connection between you and the party. dont get fooled by these hate political parties. I am sorry for the fate of this unfortunate person and hope he will be freed at the earliest possible. This is good lesson for all hate mongers in Saudi Arabia. Dont bring your dirty politics to saudi arab ia. People from all religion are living peacefully here. They eat together and live together as one family.
Maron is arrested, let him learn his mistake for his hatrate,
indian political people make innocent people to reach and this is what the end result but the political people are living happly with all facility only ch**tya citizen of india is fooled all time.
